Photos from the Procession of the Epitaph, on Good Friday 10/04/2015, in Vathy.
Every year, on good Friday at night, the Epitaph is carried across Vathy followed by a procession of faithful and the local philharmonic orchestra that plays solemn music to express people’s sorrow. The Epitaph is followed by cantors, clergy members, women bearing myrrh and altar boys carrying the liturgical fans. Throughout the procession, people scatter flowers and perfume on the Epitaph, while holding lit candles in their hands.
